  • Method and Kit for Culturing Hair Follicle's Epithelial Stem Cells
    Publication number: 20210079345
    Abstract: Provided are a method and kit for growth of hair follicle epithelial stem cells on a large scale while maintaining their hair regeneration ability. The culture method for hair follicle epithelial stem cells includes: an accumulating step of forming an accumulation of hair follicle epithelial stem cells by inoculating a cell culture vessel with the hair follicle epithelial stem cells; a mixing step of producing a mixture of an extracellular matrix component and the accumulation of the hair follicle epithelial stem cells by adding the extracellular matrix component to the accumulation of the hair follicle epithelial stem cells; and a culturing step of culturing the hair follicle epithelial stem cells by adding a medium to the mixture. The culture kit for hair follicle epithelial stem cells includes: a cell culture vessel formed of a material having oxygen permeability; an extracellular matrix component; and a medium.
